I'm with smuthermunchie on this one, I downloaded the "full cd rom version" it is in a rar file on my hard drive, got the other patches for it like it says to, but now what? I just cant get it to work? Could some kind person just walk me through it? Please? I'll be your best friend, promise.

Thank You.

Patience, patience.

EDIT: Although I must admit, hearing the voices adds a whole new dimension to the game.

Okay, thank you Frodo. I'm off to bed now.

I'm having a hard time visualizing the instructions.

Sorry, I must have stupid brain.

hey sorry for the late response!
havent been on here for a couple days.

I could post a screenshot but it's quite simple...just unzip the full version after downloading to your root C:\ directory. Then unzip the config file from Vogons into C:\PHANTOM

YOU'RE ALL SET!

Don't even run install unless you want to switch from soundblaster to adlib or something. The config file sets it up for you!

Also I find what works best for me is to use a DOSBOX front-end like D-fend and set the Machine to Dynamic and Cycles to 13000 for optimal performance. Everything else can be set to your preference.

And YES! It DOES change the experience completely! I first played this when I was 15 in 1993...the CD-ROM version was bundled with my new computer...I never knew any version but the CD version and it's nowhere near as memorable without it! I still love revisiting this game from time to time.

Yeah isn't it cool?

Interesting factoid:

Raymond Benson, the Designer/Writer of Return of The Phantom is the voice of Monsieur Brie!

And notice the similarities between Monsieur Richard in ROTP and the Sultan King in Dragonsphere! Same actors for sure.

More reasons why the voices are worth experiencing.

Raymond Benson has a personal site here: www.raymondbenson.com
I wrote him not long ago with praise for ROTP and he responded!....saying it was "A welcome blast from the past!" : )

Well, I followed all of the instructions and I get this error in Dosbox it says:

Error "-32" in module "5" data: 0 0
most recent memory check 464944
most recent dos error 2
stack use indicator 10105

Help? Please? Thank You :embarassed:

Amaaaaaazing game. Tip: I drawed the maze as I advanced through it. It was just a sketch but it helped me a lot and avoided headaches.
5/5 - Brilliant game / must play.

[Frodo]

Glad you like the game. I love it too. The talkie version is waiting to be put on site, and it's even better with the voices.

I made a map to get through the maze, and I uploaded at same time as the game, but map seems to not work anymore.

Awww! I wish I had known about this game in 1993! I was 11 then, and already playing adventure games, and the Phantom of the Opera was (and is!) one of my favorite stories.

I started playing this last night. The opera house is so creepy and atmospheric. Really loving this one!

I'd love to play this game but after the intro (the chandelier crash) nothing/zip etc..I have it installed in Dosbox..any clues?
